If you are rooted in that dimension which is

the source of creation; if one part of you is creator,
another part of you is creation, you can play
with creation whichever way you want, but
it will not leave a single scratch upon you.
- Sadhguru
Introduction
Sadhguru is a self-realized and profound
mystic of our times. He is an embodiment of the
sages of the past who served as beacons of
inspiration and guidance for entire civilizations; at
the same time, he is acutely aware of current
realities, making him a visionary humanitarian and
a prominent spiritual leader of the world today.
Also an author, poet, and internationally renowned
speaker, Sadhguru's wit and piercing logic provoke
and widen our perception of life.
As someone who belongs to no particular
tradition, Sadhguru's guidance and powerful
scientific methods are totally relevant to the
modern individual and institutions, allowing them
to cross their limitations into a higher possibility.
In this regard, he has been able to touch millions
of people, moving them towards realizing the

ultimate potential within.
Sadhguru's multi-faceted personality can
have a profound and enriching effect on anyone
who comes across him, and yet it can also stir them
into a state of confusion. At home in blue jeans as
much as he is in a loincloth, or walking barefoot
through the mighty Himalayas, or straddling
a BMW motorcycle on the expressway, he shatters
any preconceptions that one might have of a mystic.
In the Presence of the Master series are
discourses and answers to an intricate array of
questions, by disciples and seekers amidst the
challenges of life. Engulfed by Sadhguru's
presence, the seeker is liberated from the pain of
ignorance, firmly establishing the spiritual process
within.
In this volume, 'From Creation to Creator',

Sadhguru effortlessly tackles challenging subjects
like creation, creator, spirituality, life and death,
unraveling the very mysteries of existence.

Question: Sadhguru, what does the name Isha
represent?
Sadhguru: The word Isha literally means that
which rules. What is it that rules everything in the
existence? It is the source of creation. When this
source of creation, or that which rules the existence
is formless, it is called Isha. That which rules the
existence or that which is the source of existence,
we normally refer to as the Divine. So formless
Divinity is referred to as Isha.
Isha means that which is fundamental, that
which is the very source. So this is called Isha Yoga
because it is a means to access that dimension
which is the source of your creation. That which is
the source of your creation is obviously within you.
So Isha Yoga is a method to turn inward and

access that dimension which is the source of who
you are. If you exist on the level of creation, as you
are right now, you are subject to all the dualities
of life. Repeatedly questions are coming up; this is
okay, but will this work on the streets of New York
City? This is okay, but will this work with my
family? This is okay, but will it work when I am
racing with the rats?
All these things are coming simply because
you have been mauled by the dualities of life.
It has added color to you; at the same time it has
taken a toll on you. It has brought life to you.
Only because of duality there is you and me.
Only because of duality, the whole game of life is
happening. At the same time, the same dualities
are mauling you, subjecting you to so much pain
and suffering.

The very purpose of Isha is your basic
experience; you root yourself in that dimension
which we are referring to as Isha, which is
non-dual, which is the source of creation. But being
rooted in this, you play with the dualities. Now
once you are rooted in the non-dual and play
with the dual, the dual has no impact upon you.
You can play with it and enjoy it whichever way
you like, but it doesn't take a toll on you.
If you are rooted in that dimension which is
the source of creation; if one part of you is creator,
another part of you is creation, you can play
with the creation whichever way you want, but
it will not leave a single scratch upon you. But right
now in the simple process of living, as people age,
they become wounded.
Whether somebody is successful or a failure,
rich or poor or whatever, if you just take off their
top layer and look at them, they have so many
wounds within them. They are just managing to

cover it and go on bravely in the world, but
there are too many wounds. These wounds have
happened simply because whichever way you
look at it, you can't come to terms with the dualities
of life. Any sensitive human being is bound to be
wounded when he knows only the dualities of life;
when he does not know the other dimension.
Only somebody who is utterly gross, if like
an animal, like a brute he goes through life, he can
go through it but he will not know the subtleties and
the beauty of life. He can go trampling through life
without knowing too much pain, but anybody
who is sensitive to life is bound to be mauled by
the dualities of life; always. Because you are not
able to separate what is good and what is bad.
You are not able to separate what is right and
what is wrong. You are not able to separate what
is evil and what is beautiful.

Are you able to draw a clear cut line between
anything, even within yourself? Is it possible?
You must deceive yourself to believe that
everything is okay. People are trying to teach you
such philosophies: 'I am okay. You are okay.
Everything is okay.' Initially it all looks nice.
But you will go insane after sometime because the
very people who propagated such philosophies
went insane, committed suicide. People like Dale
Carnegie and others, they broke down, became
neurotic, because you are trying to deceive the
reality; not understanding the fundamentals of
reality. Just trying to deceive yourself that
everything is okay. Everything is not okay. Either
with yourself or with the world, everything is not
okay. If you do a cover up job, it feels good;
but after some time it will collapse. We are not
seeing how to do a cover up job. If you sink a little
deeper into your experience, there is a dimension in
you which cannot be touched by these dualities.
If you are rooted in that dimension, wherever you

are placed, even if you are placed in hell; still you
can go through it gracefully.
Indian spirituality has always used a lotus
flower as a symbol. Why a lotus flower is used as
a symbol is, a lotus flower grows best wherever the
slush is really thick and stinky. The more stinky
it is, the better it grows. This stinking slush
becomes a wonderful flower with such beauty and
fragrance that you cannot believe it is the same
slush. This little lotus seed transformed by this
stinking slush into a fragrant flower. So always
Indian spirituality uses lotus flower as a symbol
for spiritual processes, because once you live in
the world of duality, filth is unavoidable.
Whichever way you step in the world, somewhere
you will step into it. If you are sincere with yourself,
whichever way you step into your mind, you
cannot avoid filth. Isn't that the reality?
10

Only somebody who is blatantly lost in his
moralistic nonsense believes he is pure-minded.
Anybody who is sincere, looking at himself,
he knows a part of him is utter filth. Nobody can
avoid it. Only moralistic fools have closed their
eyes to it; that doesn't mean they are free from it. So
once you are sensitive to this, it will just destroy
you. It will just eat you up. That is the very nature.
Life is made in such a way, the beauty of the
creation is that the ugly and the beautiful are
always together. What is filthy and what is sacred
is always together.
If one has to be in this world, transact with
this world, be involved with this world and still
go untouched through this world, one must be
like a lotus flower. One must learn how to convert
this filth into a fragrant flower. Otherwise some
people get allergy towards the filth and go to
the Himalayas. Wherever you go, even if you climb
Mount Everest, on the first day you will be dazed
11
and feel all pure and wonderful. By day two your

mind will come back and the whole world's filth
will come back to you on top of Mount Everest.
On the first day you are probably just dazed by
the elevation and the lack of oxygen; but by day
two the whole world will be there with you on
Mount Everest.
Some people develop allergy, they try to run
away. Some people think anyway the world is filth,
let me also become filth. When you decide not to
run away from the filth and not to become filth,
now filth is tremendous manure, isn't it?
The filthier the situations you live in, the wiser and
more beautiful you can become, if you are willing,
if your intelligence is functioning; if you are not
reacting, but responding to life consciously. If you
are reacting to filth, you will become filth. Or you
will try to run away from the filth. If you are
responding to it consciously, filth becomes a great
12

manure to produce a wonderful flower out of
you, to bring out the most wonderful fragrance
in you.
Gautama the Buddha repeatedly said,
'I don't want to go to heaven.' Everybody was
talking about 'I am doing all kinds of spiritual
sadhana; I want to go to heaven.' I see huge
hoardings in United States All Christians are going
to heaven. Are you missing out?' [Sadhguru laughs]
Everybody wants to go to heaven. Gautama said,
I don't want to go to heaven because anyway
I am beyond all suffering; wherever you put me,
this is how I will be. So let me go to hell. You say
people are suffering there, so I will go and do
something there; anyway I have made myself in
such a way that I cannot suffer. So let me go to hell.'
This man is free, isn't it?
'I want to go to heaven', why? Because
somewhere you made a hell out of yourself,
13
that's why you want to escape to heaven, isn't it?

If living here itself is a big heaven within you,
where the hell you go, what does it matter?
Wherever you go, this is how you will be. Either you
create your situations or situations make you. These
are the two ways to live. Some people are being
created by situations, but some people are creating
the situations in which they live, and that is the
whole empowerment of being a human being.
So Isha means to become a creator. One part
of you at least is in touch with that dimension in
you which is the source of creation. Once you are
there, the external upheavals of life have no impact
on you deep down inside. You handle life to the
best of your ability and that is all there is.
Question: Can I walk a path of spirituality
devoid of yoga also?
Sadhguru: What is spirituality? Generally we
think spirituality means going to the temple, going
14

to the church, going to the mosque and praying to
God or whatever. Going to the temple, church or
mosque and praying is not spirituality. 99% of the
temple-going, church-going or mosque-going
people, all that they have been taught and all that
they are doing in their lives is 'Dear God save me.
Dear God protect me. Dear God give me this. Dear
God give me that.' That is not spirituality; that is
just simple basic survival.
So what is spiritual? Right now your whole
experience of life is limited to the physical, isn't it?
It is in the very nature of things, that sense organs
cannot perceive anything other than the physical.
So when your experience of life is limited to sense
perception, it is limited to the physical. Everything
that you are experiencing is physical. Your body is
physical, the world around you is physical, your
wife, husband, child, this, that is physical. You have
emotions about it, but they are still physical.
Even your mind is physical.
15
For example, this microphone is a physical

thing, isn't it? The electricity which is empowering
this microphone is also physical. It is a flow
of electrons. It is still physical, very subtle.
Similarly as your body is physical, your mind is also
physical. If I want, I can throw this flower at you,
if I want, I can throw a thought at you; it is still
physical, very subtle, but physical. So everything
that is in your experience is physical.
Spirituality means, that you begin to
experience something which is beyond the
physical. The simplest possible way to put it:
if your experience of life transcends the physical,
and something other than the physical is
happening, then we can say you are spiritual.
Now in what way is yoga connected with
spirituality? Spirituality is just an aspiration. Yoga is
the technology to get there, a method. It works on
you on the level of your body, on the level of your
mind, on the level of your emotion, on the level of
16

your energy; because these are the four dimensions
in which you exist. Every dimension is a reality
within you. See, God is not a reality in your life; it is
just a belief. What kind of God you believe in is just
what kind of social situations you have been
brought up in, isn't it?
Whether your God has two hands or four
hands or an elephant head or cat head or tail or
whatever, is just according to the social and cultural
influences upon you. So God is not a reality, it is
your imagination, but your body is a reality, your
mind is a reality, your emotion is a reality, and the
energy which empowers all this is a reality. So these
are the only four realities which are a living
experience for you right now. So if you want to go
from here to somewhere, these are the only four
tools with which you can go. These are the only
four vehicles you can use to transport yourself to
another place. So for these four dimensions, we
have four basic yogas.
17
If you use your intelligence and reach out to

your ultimate nature, we call this Gnana Yoga.
If you use your emotion and reach out to your
ultimate nature, this is called as Bhakthi Yoga, yoga
of devotion or emotion. If you use your physical
action and reach out to your ultimate nature,
we call this Karma Yoga or yoga of action. If you use
your energies to transform yourself and reach your
ultimate nature, we call this Kriya Yoga, yoga of
transforming energies. So these are the only four
ways. What this means is: your head, heart, hands,
energy. These are the four dimensions of you.
Is there anybody who is only head, no heart, hands,
energy? Is there anybody who is just one big
heart and not other things? Each human being is
a unique combination of these four things.
Now if you want to progress somewhere,
your yoga should be a combination of these four
things. Why for ages, there has been so much stress
18

on the presence of a live Guru is simply because of
this, so that he mixes the right concoction for you.
It is because each one of you is a unique
combination of these four dimensions, that a yoga
that I apply for this person, if I apply to that
person, it will not work. He needs a unique
combination. So that is what is being done here.
Though people are all sitting together in the
same hall, we are not mixing the same combination
for each person. You will see as a program
progresses, towards the end of it, people will share
as if they have been in different programs. We are
mixing different combinations for different people,
otherwise it won't work. That is why there is so
much stress on a live Guru.
Question: Sadhguru, what is the point in
pushing a man into the sea of duality where he
can't even keep himself afloat?
19
Sadhguru: Now why creation, that is the

question. One day God had nothing to do. So he
was playing marbles. One marble fell this way
and it became planet Earth. Another marble hit it
and shot up and it became sun. Another smaller
marble became moon and many other marbles he
lost control of and they became whole galaxies.
Now this is a ridiculous story, you don't want
to believe it. But if we had more time, I could tell
you a story as long as Mahabharata and then you
would believe it. If I make the story sufficiently
elaborate, and logically sensible, you would believe
the story. Anyway, when I tell you a story, what is
the option that you have? Believe me or disbelieve
me. That is all the option you have, isn't it? If you
disbelieve me, what will happen? Nothing will
happen. If you believe me, what will happen?
Nothing will happen. You just have one more story
to tell at the next dinner party that you have.
[Laughter] But in what way will it transform
20

your life? In what way does it take you any closer
to reality than you are right now? If I tell you stories,
will you become wiser?
See right now, just because people believe
these stories, they have become utterly stupid;
so stupid that today the fight in the world, they are
saying it is between good and evil; don't believe
this. The fight in the world is not between good and
evil. It is just one man's belief versus another
man's belief, isn't it? Now this many people believe
my story. That many people believe somebody
else's story. Initially they say we are all brothers,
we are together, this, that; but tomorrow when
these people insist their story is right, and other
people also insist their story is the real reality;
can you stop them from fighting?
Anyway, they will fight. All the fight in the
world is just one man's belief versus another
man's belief. Simply because they believe things
21
that they do not know. Why are you not sincere

enough to simply see that you do not know? If you
see 'I do not know', what will you do? You will seek,
because nobody can live with 'I do not know' for
too long.
If you just believe something that somebody
told you, it quells you. It puts you to sleep. But it
doesn't get you any closer to reality as such. It just
makes you believe one more story. Now these
stories, they are very entertaining, culturally rich;
but if you are looking for enlightenment, if you are
looking for liberation, if you are looking for going
beyond your limitations, they are of no
consequence. If you are just looking for color, if you
are just looking how to decorate your life, then
culture is useful. So let's not destroy the culture.
Let's enjoy the culture, but don't go by the stories.
Don't believe or disbelieve the story, just enjoy it.
22

When it comes to creation, instead of asking
why, if you see, right now you are a part of the
creation, and like you said you are entangled and
stuck and drowning in the creation. Not everybody
maybe, but at least quite a lot of people feel like
they are drowning, when things go wrong at least.
So right now in some way you are entangled.
Now if you ask me how to go beyond this,
instead of asking 'why creation', if you ask how to
transcend creation, now I have a way. I have
a method. I have a clear cut path as to how to go
beyond this. But if you ask me why, I can only tell
you a story. Even if the story that I am telling is
actually true, as far as your experience goes, it is just
another story. If it appeals to your mind, you will
believe it. If it does not appeal to your mind, you
will not believe it. So stories won't transform
people. You believe God to be a demon or the
demon to be a God; it makes no difference, because
after all it is just your belief.
23
Shiva is called the Mahadeva in India. Openly

in countries in the west, especially in United States,
some people are going about campaigning he is
a demon. For an Indian, he is the highest of the
highest. The whole aspect of Shiva has been
created with enormous care and understanding.
It is not to be believed. It is to be used as a tool
and a device in your life.
Shiva's personality has been created like this:
He is the most beautiful and he is the most ugly.
He is the most wonderful and he is the most
terrible. His friends are all demons and freaks and
goblins and all other kinds, but he is the highest
God. It has all been created like this. He is the
destroyer, but he is the very basis of creation. It has
all been created like this, because if you can accept
this one man, you will accept the whole creation the
way it is. It is a tool, it is a device; but now you just
made it into a story. Suddenly it is no more
24

transforming; it has lost its transforming impact
upon you.
If you really use Shiva as a device to
transform yourself, if you just see the evil and the
good, the beautiful and the ugly, everything is a part
of him, you would revere the ugly and the beautiful
the same way, isn't it? That would be very
transforming. But now you just believe the story,
do not apply the device to your life, see no change.
If you chant Shiva or Rama or whatever nonsense,
nothing changes. But if you applied it the way
it was intended, it would have transformed you
tremendously.
Question: Sadhguru, what happens after
death?
Sadhguru: Some things you will know only
by experience. [Laughter] You want to know? It is
best you know it only by experience. What happens
25
after death? If you want to know what happens

after death, do you know what is happening right
now with you, not as a person, as life? No. So when
you do not even have the capability to know life
which is kicking within you this moment,
where will you get the capability of knowing what
will happen after death?
So if you want to know the process of life, this
is the moment, isn't it? Now you must make
an effort to turn inward and go deep into yourself,
to know the very fundamentals of who you are.
If you know this, if you know the basic
fundamentals of who you are completely now, even
after this body falls apart, still you know the same
thing. But if you do not know it now, the possibility
of knowing it then doesn't arise, because right now
you are better equipped. Right now you still have
your intellect and discretion. When you shed your
body you don't have these things; you just function
by your tendencies.
26

So when your intellect is on, and you have
the discriminatory power to see what is what, this is
when you must see it. What is happening with me
right now? What is the nature of who I am right
now? If this becomes a living reality for you,
knowing what happens later will be very simple.
Question: I know that my father is going to die
soon and I would like to talk to him about it, but
I think it is totally unacceptable in our society.
Why can't we talk about death in a positive way
in our culture?
Sadhguru: If you avoid death, you will avoid
life also. Only that person who is willing to die can
live totally. One who tries to avoid death will
naturally end up avoiding life. Because what you
call as life and death are not different. Right now,
you are living. But actually we can say, slowly you
are dying; one day the process will be complete.
Being born in India, if you avoid death, then you
27
don't know anything about your culture. Because

this very culture springs from being reminded of
your death. Only when you remind yourself of
your death, you will turn spiritual. If you think
of God, fantasies will come in your mind.
No spirituality will come.
Only when you realize, when you become
aware, when you remind yourself, 'I will also die
one day'; now a search comes. Somebody is around
you right now, as much alive as you are, they are
everything to you in your life; suddenly one day
they are gone. When they fall dead, you think 'oh,
maybe he is just sleeping; maybe he will sit up now,
maybe some miracle will happen'. You know,
the mind will work like this. Once you cremate him,
you know, this is it. This person who was so alive,
who was life like you, suddenly just evaporates.
Wherever you look, he doesn't seem to be there.
Gone. Just gone. And you know the same is true
with you. Right now you are going about doing
28

your act, one day you will be gone, just like that.
Once you are conscious of this, then naturally you
will want to know what the hell this is all about.
Then spirituality begins.
Only when you become conscious, only
when you are reminded of your own death, you
will become a seeker. When you think God, you are
not a seeker. You are just looking for more foolish
nonsense in your life; more greed, an easier way to
get things. Only when you think death, you turn
spiritual, you seek.
So not just the old people in your house, also
the very young children in your house, you must
remind them consciously all the time, very
casually; not as some great doom that is going to
come. Death is not doom. Death is just a natural
process of life. You must tell your children always
that this is not an endless game. This is a brief game.
You are going to be dead one day.
29
Either people try to fall this way or that way.

That is the problem. People try to avoid it, or people
try to celebrate it. You don't have to avoid it, you
don't have to celebrate it. If you are just aware
of it, it liberates you. If you celebrate it, naturally,
your emotions will glorify it, isn't it? It is
a misunderstanding that you try to celebrate life
or death. If you are aware, everything is the way it is
and it is too beautiful. It is just fantastic. The
intricacy of life, you don't have to enhance it by
your celebration, nor can you bring it down by
your gloom. Anyway, it goes on in a grand way.
You don't have to celebrate; you just have to join the
celebration. You trying to celebrate death will
become death-orientedness, isn't it?
Suppose I go on telling you death is
wonderful; really it must happen to you. Then you
become like those UFO cult followers. You know
those UFO cults in some of the western countries?
30

Some commit mass suicide. This is because they are
thinking, that is better than this. Don't distort
anything; just see everything the way it is. Death
is a natural process of life, isn't it? Simply see it
as what it is, do not celebrate it, do not become
gloomy about it.
It happened, once a certain yogi was invited
to a new house. You know, a rich man built a house.
When they build a new house, they want some
spiritual person to enter their house. So they invited
the yogi. The yogi went, they welcomed him like
a king, they served him well, they did everything
for him, he ate well, he sat. Then they said, You
must give your blessings to us. So the yogi raised
his hand and said, Let your father die first, then
you die, then let your children die. The man got
wild. He said, You fool, we welcomed you and
treated you like a king and fed you like a pig, and
now when I ask for a blessing, you say first
31
my father should die, then I should die, then my

children should die? The yogi was surprised.
He said, What is wrong? Is it not in the natural
order of things that first your father should die,
then you should die, then your children should
die? Suppose you die before your father, would
it be good? Or your children die before you,
would it be good? The best thing that can happen
to your life is, first your father dies, then you die,
then your children die, isn't it? That means
everything has gone well for you.
